Theories for intersteelar warp-drive are or can be totally different than theories for Earth-atmosphere anti-gravity propulsion I believe but don't quote me on that! Anyway, @Wade, my understanding of physics and inertia in particular, tells me that simply the often-reported flight...

I've seen plenty of NASA rover images that don't seem to be easily explained by normal geological processes we know about - of course, we can cite the 'Giant's Causeway' in Northern Ireland and other amazing natural formations. There are numerous examples of nature producing amazing shapes but...

Yeah, we don't have much to go on in terms of hard evidence - I've always been a supporter of the 'Preponderance of Evidence' way of looking at it, along with the fact that many witnesses would be listened to in a court of law on the most serious of charges - when they are working, sober and not...

What you say has plenty of merit, no question. Some years ago, I sent off an email to Stanton, not really expecting to get a reply (it was about the mogul balloon explanation trotted out by the Air Force). Anyway, shortly enough after, I did receive a pretty respectably-long reply. We basically...

Wow! I think you might be the first person I know of to even throw out the idea that Stanton Friedman himself could be a govt. disinfo agent! In this crazy field, nothing should really surprise us and I personally put Greer and Basset in the same category. I don't think Stan probably is, but I...

I respectfully disagree, although I do know where you are coming from. I'll give a 'for-instance'. I don't think I've heard Stan go into as much detail about the radar-roswell crash theory in the past. The way he sharpened up the theory to be more specific may have been mentioned by him...

I must say this was a great Stan (and Kathleen) episode. Most of us know that Stan usually sticks to his tried and tested line, and no reason why he should not - he's not only done the research others can't come close to, he is very intelligent and he does produce logical, although not...

Exactly, Marduk. If you know any other good non-intuitive examples of the understanding of risk (or lack thereof), please post one! There are factors to do with risk that people are generally pretty good at, even when totally ignorant of the rules behind it, and conversely, there are areas of...

Just thought I'd point out an interesting comparison I just did (roughly), between the length of my paragraphs sans breaks in the offending post about chance and odds, and several articles written for the Mysterious Universe website. My longest paragraph in that post is of the order of around...

I often do make much shorter bullet-point style paragraphs but I couldn't really be arsed at the time, I was in a hurry but I did want to provide the answer because it was brought up by a forum member. I could point you to some horrendous wall-of-text posts, many being consecutive ones from...

Wow. I don't think I understood any of that. You are either many levels of intelligence above the rest of us, making stuff up for fun, or just copying and pasting various bits and pieces that already exist. It's such a long post I can only have admiration for your effort, especially considering...

And that is a perfectly reasonable guess, the point of the tale is to illustrate just how unintuitive many aspects of chance and statistics are to the average person. If anyone is at all interested, a quick search online will provide many great examples, the great thing being is that for most of...

And I reciprocate that standing offer to your good self!

Shorter, to point, yes. It's funny that my family often make jokes that I talk way too much, it's not that I have so much to say for all ears, I also don't like the sound of my own voice like many other people, but I do quite like talking, rambling and all. Some people do math in their heads...

Cheers. I'm totally cool with the fact that in life, none of us will ever be universally liked and even we no doubt really irritate some people, whether we warrant it or not. Existential is well within his rights to let us know his views on guests or hosts etc, it's obvious he doesn't like me...

Don't worry Gene I'm not at all bothered that someone finds fault, no-one is universally liked and I get more positive comments than negative, a not bad score in most walks of life. I'm fully aware that Gene and Chris like to have me on from time to time and I like being on, and as we all...

Well isn't it obvious? Probably Venus....

If you generally dislike my appeances then I suppose just avoid listening to those shows in which I feature - there are plenty of guests or hosts on other shows I dislike and I don't bother catching those shows so I can only suggest you exercise that same freedom of choice. Or email Gene/Chris...

Yes he'll see it! Don't worry, I'm not at all full of myself and always welcome polite, constructive criticism. I've never been a professional radio/podcast speaker and I only do it occasionally to help out really, often like the other day, at the last minute a guest pulls out and we are...
